About

WHERE WE CAME FROM
We didn’t start out to reinvent the recruitment industry but rather refine it and add value by taking a consultative approach to executive search. We started with the aim of focusing entirely on the customer, steering away from cold recruitment strategies so we could concentrate on our passion – connecting real people.
Situated in a rural setting surrounded by beautiful countryside, we wanted to define a strong team culture by providing the best possible working environment for our employees. Despite the close-knit team we’ve created here, our business spans far and wide, both nationally and internationally.
WHO WE ARE
Our people have always been an integral part of the ever-growing Collingwood family and we surround ourselves with experienced, dynamic professionals. Our ethos is present in everything we do, from finding you the perfect candidate to investing in our own staff. We don’t just sell our values, we practice what we preach - putting all who work here at the heart of everything we do.

It was reported last year that Europe’s largest modular residential tower was to be built entirely from units constructed in a factory.

London housing developer Pocket Living had started work on its Wandsworth scheme, which contained 89 units and has a total gross development value of £39.8m.

The scheme was to being created offsite before being assembled in south London.

Modular techniques see completed flats assembled in factories before being transported to sites and installed with cranes, modular construction on the site would shave around six months off the tower’s total build time.

The brief points which I have raised above won't be massive news for some but acorns into oaks spring to mind. The views of Paul Westbury can't be ignored, large segments of the market are watching it's (not just this development) success/failure...shifts happen in business, how long will the market wait before more adopt this technique?

The next generation of skyscrapers could be pieced together almost entirely from off-site production lines, according to Laing O’Rourke’s group technical director Paul Westbury.
